10Who shall find a virtuous woman? For such a one is more valuable than precious stones.
11The heart of her husband trusts in her: Such a one shall stand in no need of fine spoils.
12For she employs all her living for her husband’s good.
13Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.
14She is like a ship trading from a distance: So she procures her livelihood.
15And she rises by night, And gives food to her household, And appointed tasks to her maidens.
16She views a farm, and buys it: And with the fruit of her hands she plants a possession.
17She strongly girds her loins, And strengthens her arms for work.
18And she finds by experience that working is good; And her candle goes not out all night.
